Why People Like You Chose Powermax
I received the display and the last tablet today, thank you. Your service has been great; I appreciate you taking an interest in my new business, and will certainly have more purchase orders for you in the future.
Best,
Just to let you know, the iMac got here safe and sound. Everything is up and running and I'm loving it. I just wanted to thank you for your help and giving such good customer service. I'm really impressed with PowerMax and I'll definitely be doing more of my Mac shopping with you guys.
Thanks again,
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
I would like to thank you for the prompt response to the drive situation. I received the drive on Wednesday afternoon, installed it on Thursday and everything went as smooth as could be. My experience with PowerMax has been a pleasant one, and I am looking forward to doing business again in the future. Once again thank you for all of your help.
Thanks,
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
